From August to November of 2015, iShen Gallery is proud to present an exhibition that gathers together some of the finest contemporary Dutch artists currently working in the Netherlands and New Zealand. These artists have worked to establish themsleves on a wide global scale; their artwork has been collected by national museums, galleries and corporate and private collectors alike.

Hailing from an impressive legacy of old masters, Dutch art has long held an outstanding reputation in Europe where it can be easily found in countless art institutions. By introducing these artists and their work to the Kiwi public, we hope to broaden the visibility of Dutch art in NZ and encourage a deeper appreciation for the shared bond and ongoing cultural exchange between our nations.

 

100 Days of Dutch Art features original paintings, pottery and sculpture. The diversity of technique and medium reflects the gallery’s chief intention, which is to represent the dynamism of contemporary Dutch art within a New Zealand context. Also featured in the show are a number of talented artists based in Wellington, whose practices are informed by their Kiwi-Dutch identity. Regardless of their varied backgrounds, the artists featured in this exhibition are all well established and highly regarded in their own right.
